(Salem, OR) -- Democratic leaders in Oregon are opposed to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision concerning redistricting maps in Louisiana. The court ruled map boundaries can't be set to give a minority control over an elected office. The ruling said it was an unconstitutional use of race. Governor Tina Kotek called it a profound betrayal to the generations of Americans who "marched, fought and gave their lives to make it law." In a statement, Kotek says it silences communities of color. Oregon U-S Senator Ron Wyden called it a "direct result of Republican voter suppression efforts."
